Armed Forces Resources / Uniform and Rank?
« on: Thursday 06 March 25 09:53 GMT (UK)  »
What uniform is the groom wearing and what is his rank.  Could it be Merchant Navy or Navy? Thank you.  I think the photo is 1942 but could be wrong.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Shaw Wedding photo - to be dated. South Shields Unknow People
« on: Sunday 02 March 25 09:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, can anyone date this photo.  Some folk think the wedding dress and her hair style is from 1920/30s and others think the groom is wearing the uniform of First Mate/Chief Officer in the Merchant Navy that could be from the 60s onwards! I have also posted the back of photo as it may help. Is the 11 1/2 9 1/2 RBK MT the size of mount board, photo? Could the 3 1/2 (6) be 6 copies of 3 1/2 photos?  The photo and the bride's wedding dress with some other items have been found in a loft and our aim is to return these items to the family/descendants.  Thank you.

Thank you Ashtone.  I too think it was a workhouse infirmary.  I don't live near Birmingham otherwise I would be heading down there now to find those records.

Hi MercianSte
Thank you so much.  The certificate has Erdington, so I looked on the list for Erdington . I should have done a 'search' (control F) for Erdington then I would have found it.  Thanks again.  I can put this one to bed.  Thank you everyone for all your help.

Update, someone has just re-pointed out that 1 Union Road is a private house.  Yet the mother is living there and the baby was born there.  The mystery continues.

JenB - thanks for the link, 1 Union Road is not listed so I guess he was not born in the workhouse.  I will need to do FindMyPast 1921 subscription and look for Union road and the address where his mother lived as on her sons birth certificate.  Thank you.

PaulineJ - thanks for the information.  I guess I will have to pay for the 1921 census records on FindMyPast and look up 1 Union Road.  Also the other address that the mother put down as to where she was living.  It would appear he was not born in the workhouse, more research to do.

Hi Pauline, the address on the 1921 is Selly Oak workhouse, King's Norton Union Workhouse, Birmingham, she can be found with her baby.  Also found another child (age 3 1/2) of the mother living there but on a different page.  Mother's occupation was Power Presser, Messrs Wallon & Brown, Steel Workers, Place of work Brierley Hill, B'Ham. Thank you Pamela
